Is it time the thanks button was dispensed with? It encourages bullying from cliques.

Does that mean nobody loves me? Gutted...

Yes, I've seen this before. Just goes to show how meaningless it is.

if it is that meaningless, why do you even pay attention to who thanked who?

I thought I said above that I generally don't?!

And sometimes I thank to soothe hurt feelings:rotfl:

Many people use the thanks button to signify agreement with the sentiment of the post. I don't agree it encourages cliques or bullying.

I do not use modern social media, where everyone seem to 'like' everything and everyone, which devalues things in my opinion. 'Thanks' on here often seems used in the same way.

I try to use 'Thanks' sparingly, when a post has supplied interesting and useful information - a tip about cheap mobile broadband sims was one example. I have used it to welcome people whose first post looks good.

I look for quality not quantity. I just ignore posts that add nothing of value to any discussion.

I just think anyone taking it that seriously needs to step away from the computer, engage in a spot of real life and regain some perspective.
